Rüschegg Eywald, 1500 metres above sea level, is still much loved. Many families, including mine, spent happy days there.

But this winter season, Rüschegg's T-bar ski lift has not once been open.

At almost 2.5km (1.6 miles), it is the fourth longest ski lift in Switzerland and not for the faint-hearted.

But it has now fallen victim to climate change.
